Fraud

Tomas,
This reminds me of a similar problem a few years ago when I was
bidding for a new scanner for my office. I stopped bidding when it
went beyond what I felt was reasonable.
Later I received an email message that looked like it came from Ebay
offering me a "second chance" for a similar scanner. The response was
not through Ebay and that made me cautious. I later found out there
were some fraudulent contacts with bidders and that this had nothing
to do with the seller or Ebay. So please be careful when not dealing
with a trusted source. It may just be someone trying to extract money
or personal information that they can use for fraud.
In your case it is possible that someone else miss represented
themselves as the innocent seller and stole your money. The golden
age of the Internet is over. One now has to keep up with anti virus
and anti spyware as well as being suspicious of some email offers.
